Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bottle tray used for storing, transporting, and displaying bottles such as bottles filled with juice, soft drinks, coffee, tea and the like, and PET bottles.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, juice, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and the like are distributed in bottles such as bottles and plastic bottles. These bottles mainly have a capacity of 1.5 liters or 2.0 liters, and are different in size and shape. As for the shape of the body, a 1.5-liter one is circular, and a 2.0-liter one is rectangular. When these bottles are stored, transported, or displayed, a pallet-type bottle tray is used.
[0003]
These bottle trays are fitted on the upper surface side, such as “bottle pallet” described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-18264 and “stackable bottle tray” described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-45866. The bottom part of the lower bottle (pet bottle) is fitted and aligned upright at the joint, and another bottle pallet is placed on the upper part of the upright plastic bottle, and the PET bottle is placed in the fitting part provided on the lower surface side. It is made to pile up by fitting the upper part of.
[0004]
However, since the known bottle pallet can store only one kind of size, there is a problem that only the kind of bottle has to be prepared. The known stackable bottle tray can store several types of bottles having different shapes, but cannot store a bottle having a small outer diameter. Moreover, the shape of the receiving part which fits a bottle bottom part is complicated, and there exists a problem that it is hard to make it fit when accommodating.
[0005]
An example of a bottle tray that can be stored by mixing bottles having different shapes is a container for displaying a bottle body described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-80646. The container is provided with a plurality of recesses into which the bottom of the bottle fits on the top surface of the container, and the recesses include a curved wall surface portion that is in contact with a half circumferential surface of the body portion of the bottle having a circular outer diameter and a body portion of the square bottle having a cylindrical outer diameter And a wall surface portion where at least two corner portions are in contact with each other.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Although the bottle body display container having the above-described configuration can be fitted with bottles having different shapes, the center of the round bottle and the center of the square bottle are misaligned in the recess for fitting the bottle. Therefore, when stacking in the vertical direction, the center of the load is shifted, resulting in an unstable state. In addition, since the pitch of the caser (filling machine) when inserting the bottle is determined by the size of the bottle, if the center of the bottle in the recess into which the bottle is inserted is shifted, it does not match the pitch of the caser. If the pitch of the bottle in the recess and the pitch of the caser do not match, the upper end opening of the recess interferes and smooth filling is not possible.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bottle tray that can insert several types of bottles having different outer diameters and shapes and can be stacked in a stable state. It is what.
[0008]
